A Detachment of Five Soldiers Capture Ten
tl'E5t;ll Outlaws.
FT. LEAvsswoRrH, KAN. Jan. 1S.-The
official report received here from Camp J.
P. Martin, Indian Territory, near Arkau.
saa City, Kan, states that the troops in
the vicinity are having quite lively time.
A day or two since party Of wood thieves
were found by detachment on the
Chickeska river, but refused to surrender
The sergeant in charge Of tho troops or.
dsred that if they crossed certain line
they should be shot down. This, how
ever, had no effect sud the party escaped,
as the soldiers were in doubt about their
right to fire. Since then the "boomers"
have been more pentufasome, aud a large
number crossed the limo and had their
wagons loaded when discovered by the
same party OF soldiers. The sergeant or
dered tho wood thieves to halt, but was
answered insolently and no halt was
made. Seeing that. prompt action was
necessary and having, since the first party
escaped, received strict orders TO allow no
one to pass out, he again ordefed the party
to halt, notifying them at the same time
thati the order was disotsyed they would
be fred upon. This order only had the
effect Of causing the outlaws to level their
guns on the bearer Of the order. The
troops at once fred, and with the loss OF
one Of their horses in the leading team
and one man shot through the hand,
they surrendered and were brought to the
main camp to await tho action Of the
United States Commissioners. The party
arrested numbered ten, while the detach-
ment OF troops consisted Of only FIVE men.

WAsulsGroN, D. O., Jan. 1S.-The re-
turn Of Secretary Lamar and his bride has
caused quite stir in society. They ar

and then proceeded to the Interior De.
pattmeut, where he resumed his official
duties az quistly as il nothing had hap.
pened. After spending an hour or two in
his otlice he went to the White House,
and received the hearty congratulations
Of tho President and Mrs. Cleveland. The
Secretary ssid to the President that Mrs.
Lamar wanted to 90 a little slow in the
society line, ut least for while, ss, like
him, her tastes were more domestic than
otherwise. The President said that while
he would. OF courso, be glad to zee them
npan all official and social occasions at the
White House, he wished them, Of course,
TO consult their own pleasure and con.
ysnieEce. The Presidents dinner I'd the
Cabinet will be given on Thursday even
ln2 next, which 1t ia probable Mr.. and
Airs. Lsmar will sttend, for these dinners
are much less formal than the other state
dinners, and those who are invited upon
such occasions are usually we'll acquainted.
In addition 10 the gentlemen and ladies
composing the Cabinet circle, the Presi-
Dc dent has invited a numbsr Of others for
Thursday evening. ,
Among other invitations, one was ssnt

lived with her six children on the canal
bank near Brighton Park, was found dead
and frozen on the Chicago and Alton
track about two blocks from her home
this morning. The woman was identified

face. Then they notified the Coroner,
and loft the corpss where 1t was until a

A Family Poisoned.

DAYTON, O., Jan. ls.-The family Of
Gerhsrs Stephens bought, some time ago,
aix pigs feet, which were taken home and
picked. A few days ago tho meat was
served on the table, and Mrs. Stephens,
her husband and daughter, IL years Of
age, ate OF some. On the evening Of the
same day the father, the mother and
the daughter becams violently sick, and
suffered great pain. The father and
mother have partially recovered, but are
still in dangerous state. The daughter
is in very critical condition, and there
is but little hope Of saving her life. The
physicians say that the patients have ell
the symptoms OF poisoning by s.rychnine,
and he is now examining the meat to de.
termine just what it wss that caused the
trouble. A dog was fed with the pigs
feet and died in convulsions. ~, d

THAT LITTLE TAX BILL.
Mason talked good deal about the
prospects OF caucus, but gave nothing
beyond what has already been forwarded.
In regard to his Tax.bill, he said that
inasmuch o. McCreery was Chairman OF
the Senate Finance Committee ho took
for granted that he would try to accom-.
plish the same amendments he advocated
last session. McCreery was chairman OF
the committee that prepared the cele-
brated bill In 1885, and which came to an
nntimely end. Tho Jefferson Statesman
is very earnest TO assert that II his views
be carried out the rate Of taxation will be
reduced to Is cents; but he is evidently
too much interested In the Senatorial
fight TO think about much elae for some
time to come. 1t Is very clear to me that
the nti.Csmden members Of the Leeisla.
tnre are not being run by anybody, and
let them say what they may, the Senator
has against him those who are generally
regarded as the most elective and iaau.

ENGLISH TRADE DEPRESSION.

conclusions Arrived nt by tho Royal Com.
=, mission--Somo of the Causes. 7lTi7z
LONDON, Jan. 1S.-The conclusions az.
rived at by the royal commission on the
depression Of trade, who So report is pub
sished to-day, are, though ingenious,
neither satisfactory nor important, The
commissioners are divided in opinion m as
to the causes Of the depression, and have
resolved into three groups. each issuing
report. Perhaps the report signed by the
fair traders of whom there four in the
commission, is the most interesting, argu.
ing, aa it does, that although it WAS found
that trade had been. depressed the falling
OF has not bson disastrous to the nation,
but on the contrary, the country has been
benefited by 1t. TO show this the report
states that only special trades and indus-
tries have suffered, and holds that Stats
tics establish the fact that the depression
exists more among capitalists than among
tho poor ciass who labor. The chief
causes to which the depression is ascribed
as gathered from the testimony taken are:
Overproduction, the continuous decline of
prices, the result of the appreciation of
the standard Of value, the effect of for
eign bounties and tariffs, and the restric-
two commercial policy OF foreign nations
initiating our markets, foreign competi-
ton which is beginning to be felt in Brit
ish aud neutral markets, increased local
taxation, and burdens on industry gener-
ally, the lover rates OF transportation
which our foreign competitors enjoy, leg.
islation affecting the employment Of labor
in industrial ventures and the superior
technical education Of workmen in for
eign countries! Ft. 49,. SD
Some trades and industries, it is found,
havo been more seriously effected than
ours, owing to- the inordinate prolonga-
ton OF the crisis, agriculture having been
the principal sufferer. Next come tex
til manufacturers, Of which MI kinds have
felt depression. It is not shown, how
ever that the foreign trade has shrunk in
volume, neither has there been a depye.
citation OF the amount Of capital invested
therein, while the aggregate commodities
grown or manufactured for foreign and
home consumption, and the accumulation
OF capital throughout the country remains
unimpaired. sOl the contrary there is
much complaint Of overproduction, in
consequences Of which ma 1utacturers in
certain lines have been compelled TO
accept lower prices and smaller profits, i
The report implies substantially the fol-
lowing view. Of the commercial situation:
There has been iu the exchangeable value
OF the products ofthe soil very serious
decline, and In nearly all other classes Of
goods incraasudi production, with ten
dency generally to over.su pply tho dc.
mand, entsiling diminiahed profits and
decreased returns from capital invested.
